and a store bought bow and arrows, along with homemade bows and arrows. Now, I use bows and arrows in Skyrim and that's about it. I've never had the urge to kill anyone. I really wish people would quit assuming we are all sitting around plotting mass murder. Geez, even before I found the right therapist, right diagnoses, and right doctor who gave me the right medicine (I had a horrible time finding the best medication for my condition), I never had any earthly urge to hurt anyone. I just wanted to quit hurting.
I do lots of woodworking and crafting hobbies where I need small bits of wood carved to fit just right. I have worn out lots of pocket knives doing little projects. I love my knife collection even if most of them are now too worn out to use any more.
My step dad has a couple of guns. He doesn't hunt any more. My mother made him stop that, lol. He only ever uses his guns around the holidays. One is a .22 and he uses it to shoot mistletoe out of a tree for Christmas decorations. Then it goes back on the wall in his gun rack he has on the wall. I've been around guns all my life, plenty of them. No one has ever been hurt by my hands, nor will they. Too bad the rest of DU thinks if I miss my anti-depressant that I will be a danger to them. That's downright weird that they think that way. If I miss my meds a day, I'm more apt to be in the bed in a fetal position, hurting physically, because whether or not they will acknowledge SSRI withdrawal syndrome as real, I have it if the drug store is late getting my prescription filled. I have taken to ordering my prescription a full month ahead of time. It's a nasty experience to go through SSR withdrawals if I miss a med, but it is much better than the alternative of being unable to enjoy life and unable to get through the day without such a heavy heart as before. I wouldn't trade them for the world.
